Orthopedic Side Sleeper Support Cushion | Industrial Design, CAD & Product Engineering
Comfort products are only successful when thoughtful design meets real human needs. This concept explores the development of an ergonomic side sleeper support cushion designed to improve sleeping posture, reduce pressure around the hips and knees, and provide long-lasting comfort for side sleepers.
The project began by studying ergonomic body positioning, pressure distribution, and user comfort to develop a shape that naturally supports alignment throughout the night. Multiple iterations were explored before refining the final form into a balanced design that combines comfort, aesthetics, and practical manufacturability.
The cushion was engineered in SolidWorks as a fully parametric CAD model, allowing every curve, contour, and assembly feature to be refined with precision. The design incorporates a breathable removable cover, high-density molded foam core, internal airflow channels for improved ventilation, and an integrated magnetic attachment system that supports modular accessories while maintaining a clean exterior.
To ensure the concept was ready for manufacturing, I also developed exploded assembly documentation, engineering drawings, section views, dimensional layouts, and production-focused design details. Every component was considered with manufacturing, assembly, durability, and user experience in mind.
This project demonstrates my complete product development workflow—from industrial design and ergonomic thinking to CAD engineering, product visualization, and manufacturing documentation—while showcasing how functional consumer products can be transformed into production-ready designs.

Vacuum Flask — Product Landing Page for Extreme Outdoor Gear ❄️🔥
We designed a cinematic landing page concept for Vacuum Flask 🧊 — a durable outdoor product built for extreme cold, long adventures, and everyday performance.
The goal was to make a simple product feel powerful, reliable, and ready for harsh conditions. Through dramatic product-focused visuals, bold typography, icy atmosphere, and clear conversion actions, we created a landing experience that feels closer to a premium outdoor campaign than a standard product page.
Special attention was given to:
• a high-impact hero section that makes the product the main visual focus;
• bold campaign-style typography designed to communicate strength and performance;
• immersive winter atmosphere with snow, ice, and cold-weather lifestyle imagery;
• clear product benefits, including heat retention and outdoor durability;
• conversion-focused CTAs for “Buy Now” and “See the Collection”;
• premium visual direction suitable for outdoor, sports, lifestyle, and DTC product brands.
The result is a strong product landing experience that helps an everyday item feel memorable, premium, and built for adventure — turning functionality into desire.
Looking to design a bold landing page for your product, e-commerce, outdoor, or lifestyle brand? Let’s create something that sells the feeling, not just the product 🏔️
